According to the American Foundation for the Blind’s Flatten Inaccessibility report, 22% of people with visual impairments were unable to access essential job technology from home during the pandemic. Screen readers and software licenses once available at the office can be replaced with a single eSight vision-enhancement device. eSight’s community of advanced users can help guide new users through the onboarding process, which takes the burden off corporations.
“While working from home has been challenging for many people, people who live with visual impairments have faced even greater obstacles due to the pandemic. They rely heavily on their sense of touch, as well as on having contact with others,” said eSight President and CEO, Robert Vaters. “eSight gives wearers the freedom to read non-verbal communications like facial expressions and body language. Under typical circumstances, helps users commute and lead an active lifestyle.”
